The January Blahs

I definitely have a case of the mid-winter blues. I just feel lousy and haven't had much interest or motivation to do much of anything...including stamp! I have to say that has never happened to me before...stamping is usually the way I snap out of the blues. In any case, I had to start planning for some upcoming classes and workshops, so I got onto our demonstrator forum in search of inspiration. Boy, did I sure find it! There are so many talented stampers out there!! Today's card is one I CASE'd from a card by a fellow demonstrator; unfortunately I didn't save the post and can't give credit where it is due. Just know that this layout is not my original idea. Have a look...

Valentine's card using the P.S. I Love You stamp set from the Occasions Mini

Inside view with image and sentiment from the Sprinkled Expressions stamp set from the SAB Catalogue.

This card is so simple, yet effective. I used the Scalloped Heart of Hearts embosslit to cut the grey hearts and then punched several different papers and stamped images using my full heart punch. The punched shape fits perfectly inside the scalloped heart die cut. For a little texture I added an embossed border using one of the folders in the Adorning Accents set. The image and sentiment on the inside are both from one of the stamp sets that is available for FREE with a $60 order during Sale-a-bration. Only 6 more days till the start of Stampin' Up's biggest (and BEST) promotion of the year...are you ready? If not, start making your wishlist and choosing which items from the SAB catalogue you want for free! Then book your workshop and get even MORE free stuff as a hostess! Hurry...Sale-a-bration only runs till the end of March...after that those amazing, SAB-exclusive products will be gone for good!

this is a fantastic care Leena, & Christine is right... rather you designed it or not you put together a really nice color combo & it stands out like a soar thumb in my opinion.....& I don't mean soar thumb in a bad way :) Love it, love it, love it! I am going to make my husbands Valentine card exactly like this one, hope you don't mind? See you next weekend! Nicola
